50+ Awesome Logo Design Resources Online

What’s the value of a logo? Ask a company like Nike and you might say millions of dollars – but the truth is that, in 1971, Nike paid $35 for their logo. These days, the going rate for professional logo design is between $150 and $1,000. Those prices are coming down as the Internet provides a wealth of logo design contest sites and logo crowdsourcing sites, though!

Here are over 50 logo design resources I found online, from inspiration to awards, to contests and crowdsourcing, to blogs and history sites. Enjoy!

Tips for your selecting your next logo design:

You get what you pay for! Professional logo designers understand that, aside from communicating your brand, a great logo resizes well, looks good in gray scales, is unique and attractive, and works well to develop a web site around.

Your logo isn’t your brand, it’s a representation of the brand you wish to present to the public. If your company hasn’t developed a branding guide or a brand marketing strategy, contact a branding agency that can help you. This often includes developing a logo for your company.

Make sure that you are guaranteed an original logo. Some of the design contests and crowdsourcing sites are having problems with designers utilizing existing logo designs to make new ones. If this should happen to you, you should be able to get your money back. Be sure to utilize Google Image search to try to identify these cheats and report them to the site.

Ensure that the cost of the logo includes delivery in a graphics format (typically vector – AI, EPS, or PS) so that you can use it for online, print, or any other needs.
